”the servant whole that had been sick” - How to Use the Spiritual Energy

How to Use the Spiritual Energy 

It is admitted by well-educated spirit researchers that there is the God who is almighty, omnipotent, and all-good in the spirit world. 

This God created the spirit world and then the material world where the mankind live.  In the spirit world there is spiritual energy that can give eternal life to every spirit.  This spiritual energy worked to create the material world according to God's will and intension.  With this spiritual energy, various types of spirits entered into the material world.  So, it is not only the mankind that have spirits.  Every plant and animal have their own spirits; even every mineral, molecule, atom, and elementary particle should be formed with each spirit.  Yet, a spirit that has entered into the brain of a human being forms a soul whose work generates the mind.  No other living things and mineral materials have this spiritual structure.  Yet, the spirit in a human being can communicate with other spirits in plants, animals, stones, rocks, minerals, mountains, seas, etc.  (Sometimes an infant of men can communicate with a plant, an animal, a stone, etc.)

In this spiritual structure, a man has power, wisdom, and goodness like the God, although their levels are so low in comparison to the God.  In other words, this material universe is full of power, wisdom, and goodness of the God.  So, this material universe is full of galaxy groups and solar systems, various scientific laws and mathematical laws, and psychological patterns and features.  And in the human world, there are various types of religions, ethical principles, and codes on goodness and evil acts.          

Human scientists mainly study wisdom of the God through the study of natural science of the material world.  But they cannot focus on power of spiritual energy.  So, they cannot understand spiritual phenomena caused by the spiritual energy.  They, namely modern scientists made of the spiritual energy, deny every spiritual phenomenon related the spiritual energy.  While the Christian Bible takes the afterlife for granted, they doubt the afterlife and the spirit world.  So, as they dismiss the spiritual energy on which this material world was created, they cannot fully understand the truth of the material world.   

Put simply, even in this material world and the human world the spiritual energy is still working, overriding physical laws; so various miracles could happen such as spoon bending by psychic power in this material world when the spiritual energy works.  Qigong originated in ancient China is another example.  Psychic healing practiced in the U.K., Brazil, the Philippines, etc. is also another example.     

The most important thing is that the God used this spiritual energy in the creation of the material universe through His words, notion, imaginative power, etc.  So, psychics, qigong doctors, and persons with supernatural power let their minds work in specific manners so that they can access the spiritual energy.  Even, Japanese shamans and oracles let their minds work in specific manners with mantras or magic words.  They simulate the God using the spiritual energy in the creation of the material world.  

However, there are no specific confirmed patterns of thinking, praying, imaging, or chanting mantra or magic words to invoke the spiritual energy.  Yet, people when praying to their gods or deities so as to fulfill their wish follow their own ritual methods.  It is reasonable; indeed, no psychics are laughing, joking, or drinking when they perform miracles.  Concentration of the mind seems a key.

In addition, some Japanese spirit researchers have found that they must use a perfect form or sentences in the preterit when invoking the spiritual energy or praying to gods or Shinto and Buddhist deities.  Mantras or magic words should be used in a perfect form or in the preterit.

So, if you want peace in Ukraine, you should say that peace has come in Ukraine.  If you want peace in Gaza, you should pray that peace already came to Gaza.   

Anyway, power and wisdom of the spiritual energy can be easily understood.  But, goodness of the spiritual energy is not so easily grasped.  There must be various types and levels of goodness.  Only those who have such goodness in addition to comprehension of power and wisdom of the spiritual energy should be able to invoke the spiritual energy.   

Only the God can see the bottom of the mind of a man.  And, without approval of the God, no psychics or men with supernatural power should be able to access the spiritual energy.

Luke 7, King James Version

3 And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.
4 And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:
5 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.
6 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:
7 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
8 For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
9 When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
10 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick.
11 And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.

"Give not that which is holy unto the dogs" - Collapse of Current Material Civilization

Collapse of Current Material Civilization

The current material civilization is going to collapse in this century.  We had better prepare for it with our minds adjusting for the tragedy.

Now it is 2,000 years after the first coming of the Lord Jesus Christ in this world while the first coming of the Lord Jesus Christ was 2,000 years after the era of Abraham.  So, we should accept our fate, since it seems that the God has taken time enough to judge the human beings.   

However, after the collapse of the current material civilization in the 21st century, a new civilization based on spiritualism should come.  This spiritualism should be linked with teaching of the Lord Jesus Christ.

In the 22nd century, none will be afraid of death, since all the people understand that their minds with souls continue to live in the afterlife or the spirit world as spirits.  No unnecessary machine, computers, software and AI should be used so that people would not tarnish or soil their faith in God, since products of material civilization are of no use for salvation of souls of human beings.  And, no fossil energy and nuclear energy should be used, since people can find a way of using spiritual energy in this world.        

The main activity of people should be prayer and worship to the God but not activities to earn money, accumulate wealth, and seek for material happiness.  In deed, people should revere the God in this world like they would do so in the afterlife or the spirit world.

And, this new civilization based on spiritualism should continue for next 500 years since the Great Pyramid at Giza was built 500 years before the era of Abraham.  The history should be balanced.

Yet, it is unknown what will happen to the mankind after the 45th century.  Indeed, none will live in the earth, this solar system, or this Milky Galaxy.  All the human souls might be allowed to live in the spirit world; and only evil spirits and Satan might be left in this world.

Anyway, the Holy Mother Mary will cease to feel sad as She will not have to see any more human souls fall in the hells.

Matthew 7, King James Version
7 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

"His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence" - These Stones to Raise up Children unto Abraham

These Stones to Raise up Children unto Abraham

The God created the spirit world and the material world including the human world.

But, it seems that the God first created the spirit world and then the material world using spiritual energy in the spirit world.  And then, the God created the human world using the spiritual energy and the material energy in the material world.  Therefore, the spiritual energy can work in the material world and also in the human world.

And the Lord Jesus Christ emphasized that the God Himself is a Spirit: 

God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. (John 4)

We have to admit that we have the material body and the mind working in the body.  Even scientists who have tried to find where the mind is in the brain have to use their minds to claim that there is no such a thing as a mind in the brain.

We should assume that a spirit comes from the spirit world to enter into the human brain to become a soul working to generate a mind.  Indeed, even AI in an artificial brain in the computer cannot generate a human mind working on a soul generated from a spirit.  But, it is a surprise that the human brain made of material atoms and molecules can provide an environment where a spirit enters and becomes a soul to generate a mind.  

However, the Lord Jesus Christ said that the God can generate descendants of Abraham from stones:

And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.  (Matthew 3)

Indeed, rocks, stones, and debris floating around the sun about five billion years ago formed the earth to generate various living things and finally the mankind including Abraham.  No ancestors of Abraham were floating among the rocks, stones, and debris around the sun about five billion years ago.  But their spirits were waiting in the spirit world for the living things to be generated in the earth and evolve into homo sapiens.  As the brains of the homo sapiens grew to be complex enough to give room to spirits for performing complicated work, the spirits came into the brain of the homo sapiens so that the human beings were established.        

No human minds can be generated from rocks, stones, and debris floating around the sun five billion years ago.  They were generated as human spirits entered into the brains of the mankind to become souls whose work gave rise to minds. 

So, it is clear now that the God created the spirit world, the material world, and the mankind with souls and minds made of spirits like the God.  However, we are not other gods.  Spirits that became human souls to generate human minds should be essentially different from the Spirit of the God.  But, they should have power to use the spiritual energy like God's Spirit.  

The key to understanding supernatural phenomena, spiritual ability and supernatural power of men, and various miracles caused by saints and holly men like the Lord Jesus Christ is how clearly we can understand this truth.

Put simply: Where have we come? We have come from the spirit world; Where are we going? We are going back to the spirit world; and What are we? We are spirits in the foam of souls with minds in the human bodies.

To be precise, without faith in the God who created the spirit world and the material world, we are nothing or a kind of rocks, stones, and debris just floating around the sun.

John 7, King James Version
7 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.
2 Now the Jew's feast of tabernacles was at hand.
3 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.
4 For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world.
5 For neither did his brethren believe in him.

"Judge not, that ye be not judged" - Civilization should be Spiritual but Not Materialistic

A Park around Tokyo

Civilization should be Spiritual but Not Materialistic

This material world was created by the God using spiritual energy in the spirit world through His imagination, notion, and words.  That is why various supernatural phenomena could happen in this world through the spiritual energy.

A spirit in the spirit world comes into a baby in the womb to become a soul, and a mind is generated from the soul.  But when the man dies, his soul with the mind returns to the spirit world as a spirit; yet the mind continues to work on the spirit in the spirit world.  Therefore, there is no need to be afraid of death.

This is the conclusion of the quest on life and death carried out since establishment of humanity for hundreds of thousands years or about a million years.  So, primitive men lived spiritually with non-logical fear of the great spirit called a god.  

However along with development of material civilization, the mankind came to lose spiritual inspiration.  The more the material civilization was developed, the less spiritual the mankind became.  Convenience, pleasure, and pleasant sensation obtained from products of the material civilization have tarnished, soiled and debased the spiritual ability of the mankind to use the spiritual energy.      

This situation must have alerted various great spirits in the spirit world and even the God.  So, around 500 years before the Lord Jesus Christ was born, Judaism, Plato, the Buddha, Confucius, etc. appeared in the human world with help from the great spirits in the spirit world.  And finally, the Lord Jesus Christ appeared in the human world 2,000 years ago as direct intervention from the God.  Yet, the material civilization has continued to develop further especially after the Industrial Revolution launched in the late 18th century.      

 

However, the Lord Jesus Christ appeared in front of Swedenborg before the Industrial Revolution started to have him the chance to see the spirit world as a living man and write his experiences.  Yet, the material civilization continued to develop so that the Holy Mother Mary started to appear to give warnings to the mankind since the late 19th century through WWI, WWII, the Cold War, the War on Terror, and the Ukraine War.

So, it looks the urgent issue in the spirit world to change minds of the mankind since the end of the material civilization is coming closer.  The situation in the human world should also affect the spirit world.  If the mankind failed, all the efforts made by the Lord Jesus Christ, the Holy Mother Mary, etc. in these 2,000 years should become in vain.  Only Satan should feel happy.

Finally, we have to become more spiritual oriented.  We have to read the Gospels from a spiritual point of view.  The Lord Jesus Christ did not perform various miracles through magic or tricks, but He did it by use of the spiritual energy that surpassed physical laws in the material world. 

Anyway, if the mankind could survive the 21st century, its civilization should be spiritual but not materialistic in the 22nd century.

"Bless them that curse you" - The Spiritual Energy Can Beat Satan

The Spiritual Energy Can Beat Satan

Once there was a Japanese man who could talk with a tree around his home when he had been a little child.  But one day when he said to his friend that he could talk to a tree, his friend said that it was absurd.  So, he stopped talking to the tree so as not to lose the friend.  And, he lost the ability to talk with trees.  But after growing up, he learnt spiritualism and remembered his past experience with the spiritual ability which he had already lost.

In 1970s, when Uri Geller visited Japan and performed his spoon bending with psychic power in a TV program, more than ten thousands little children who saw the program started to bend spoons with psychic power.  But as they grew up they found that it was against commonsense, so that they lost this ability.  (Yet, a Japanese doctor of engineering once found that children could regain the ability to bend spoons with psychic power if their brain waves were put in a special range of frequencies, which was however neglected by the mainstream of society.)  

Indeed, the Gospel reads that the Lord Jesus Christ encouraged little children to exercise spiritual ability:   

13 And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.

14 But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. (Mark 10)

The kingdom of God should mean the environment where the spiritual energy works.  Therefore, little children who believe that they are in it can exercise the spiritual energy, so that they can communicate with spirits of trees and bend spoons with spiritual energy.

But as they grow up, they are taught that there is no such thing as the spiritual energy.  To continue to live in the human society, they have to accept such commonsense to lose the ability to use the spiritual energy. 

In this context, for a man to use the spiritual energy, he has to believe that there is the spiritual energy around him.  But how much should he believe it?  Probably as much as little children who have no doubt.  

Nonetheless, when men grow up, they come to want to satisfy their material desires.  To satisfy material desires, they have to be rich, earning money and accumulating wealth.  It is money prevailing in the human world but not the spiritual energy that works satisfying their material desires.  So, men do not mind losing the ability to use the spiritual energy.  And, Satan with the ability to use the spiritual energy should be pleased.

But, there are some special characters who love to use the spiritual energy at the bottom of their heart.  Such peculiar men might retain the ability to use the spiritual energy after growing up.  They should often become religious men by occupation.  So, some special monks or nuns of Christianity could exercise this ability sometimes secretly in confined environments.  So, there are records of such men floating in churches in their absorbing in deep payer.

Anyway, modern people get used too much to living in material environments with various products, machine, devices, etc. that give convenience, pleasure, and satisfaction of material desires.  So, we may say that they have almost lost the ability to use the spiritual energy.

But, why is the ability to use the spiritual energy so important while we can satisfy our material desires by use of products of the material civilization?  First of all, as the Lord Jesus Christ taught, we can access the kingdom of God through it.  Further, we can fight Satan by use of the spiritual energy, which is why Satan does not like us to retain the ability.    

But, it is a surprise that a tree has a spirit so as to be able to communicate with a human being and a spoon can be bent through psychic power. 

Yet, do we like to live in such an environment where talking with plants and spoon bending with psychic power are possible while sacrificing satisfaction of our material desires by use of products of material civilization?

Finally the Lord Jesus Christ taught:

13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. (Mathew 7)

The material civilization now we are enjoying should be the wide gate; the spiritual energy should be the narrow way.  In the material civilization, there should be full of ravening wolves.  But, graceful sheep with the spiritual energy should be able to beat wolves.  That is why Satan pushes the idea on the public that there is no such thing as the spiritual energy.  So, we have to be faithful enough so as not to be brainwashed by Satan.

"Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you!" - Power of the Spiritual Energy Superseding Money

 

A Path to a Shinto Shrine

Power of the Spiritual Energy Superseding Money

It is time to admit that there is spiritual energy working in this material world.  The energy should also work in the human world.

Therefore, the Lord Jesus Christ used this energy to perform various miracles.  Some people could bend spoons with their mind work accessing this energy.  And even some monks and nuns floated in the air while being absorbed in their prayer.  Indeed, the spiritual energy and force surpass physical laws only applicable to materials.  

Therefore it is no wonder that miracles beyond physical laws happen in this material world and the human world.  But how can we access and use this spiritual energy? 

First we should realize that this material world was created by the God using the spiritual energy from the spirit world.  As the Bible reads, He used His imagination, notion, and thoughts with His words.  The God did not use any machine and tools in His creation of the material world and even the spirit world.  Truly, we can say that power is in His words.  The God used His words as the device to create everything. 

(https://www.fbcthomson.org/post/what-christians-can-take-away-from-genesis-1)

Based on the long tradition of studying the afterlife or the spirit world, it is concluded that everything a man's spirit wishes comes true there.  After physical death of one's body, a man's soul with his mind enters into the spirit world to live forever there.  And, in the spirit world there are no restrictions of time and space in addition to physical needs.  So, the man's spirit can go up to Heaven or go down to the hells as he wishes.  But amazingly, spirits of most of men choose to go to the hells.   

Anyway, only power of one's mind is effective in the spirit world.  And with this power a man can create everything in the spirit world like the God.  A pious man thinks of Heaven to get it.  An evil man thinks of the hells to get them.  Indeed, the Holy Mother Mary becomes sad to see an ever increasing number of spirits of men think of the hells to enter there.

Put simply Heaven and the hells are created by spirits of men in the spirit world.  In the hells they pursue convenience, pleasure, and satisfaction of physical desires as if they were alive in the material world.  And, Satan is rejoiced to see them.

Apart from the spirit world, even in this material world and the human world this power of the human mind and soul works to create environments where they live.  As the God creating the worlds, a man with his spiritual power can create the environment where he lives.  In other words, he can work on materials around him with his words, imagination, notion, mind work, etc. to invoke the spiritual energy.  This is why some religious men or some people with supernatural power can perform miracles superseding physical laws like the Disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ.      

So, it may be possible for a man to create another universe with his mind's power like the God.  This possibility makes some men to consider themselves as a kind of the God, which is of course absurd and blasphemous.  But, the mankind is madly moving along this direction.  They believe that they can earn as much money as they wish and that they can develop their science and technology as much as they wish.  It is as if they were aiming at becoming Satan and the God at last, which is of course absurd and blasphemous.

Yet, power of the spiritual energy to be accessed and used through mind's work is so great even in this material world.  Traditionally, many religious people have tried to get this mind's work through hard ascetic training or enhancement of their thoughts.  But some pious people have been easily given this power by angels or higher spirits due to high quality of their faith.  Even some people have been given congenitally this power by accident or for unknown reasons.  Indeed, the spirit world should be full of mysteries.  So, some people could bend spoons or cure the sick by the spiritual energy and power they could invoke.     

Even rocks in the space around the sun formed the earth to become single-celled organisms, multicellular creatures, reptiles, mammals, primates, and the mankind.  Rocks around the sun might have the spiritual energy or the spiritual energy has worked in rocks to advance and evolve to the mankind; or rocks have simply followed the imagination, notion, or words of the God.  Indeed, generation of the mankind with mind work in the planet earth made of rocks and debris should have been made by the spiritual energy.    

We have to admit that we ourselves are products of the spiritual energy.  Money and material technology that can be bought by money should not be able to create the mankind on the planet earth.    

 

The Lord Jesus Christ said that the God can even create descendants of Abraham from stones or rocks (through the spiritual energy).  So, as God's power in the form of the spiritual energy could work in stones or rocks, it should work in a man even if the man was not the son of the God.  With mind work, we should be able to access and use the spiritual energy. 

Finally we have to be spiritual rather than materialistic or mammonish.

How to be Given the Spiritual Energy

This material world was made of the spiritual energy working in the spirit world.  

So, as the Bible reads, the God who is the Creator of the spirit world and the material world created this material world using the spiritual energy in accordance with His words based on His imagination and notion.  Therefore, it is no wonder that spiritual phenomena could happen in this world, such as various miracles caused by the Lord Jesus Christ who could use the spiritual energy like the God.

This is the fundamental understanding of the Bible, Gospels, and Christianity.  Therefore, the Lord Jesus Christ taught us that the God is Spirit and we have to revere the God with our spirits.

But, the modern science has focused on material, trying to find how materials such as human cells, molecules, atoms, primary particles, light, etc. work to generate human minds and consciousness.  It cannot solve the problem about whether or not the afterlife exists.  It cannot even give a correct answer to the problem on how minds of scientists work in thinking about their life and death.  However, they will never cease their efforts to find how their minds are materially generated to work in their brains, which looks mad and foolish.

Indeed, it is like a mad and foolish man checking and studying a TV set to see how electronic components of the set generate TV programs he sees on the TV screen.  He has to understand existence of electromagnetic waves carrying information on a TV program being made and broadcast from a TV station according to a plan of a program producer.  The TV program is generated in the mind of the producer but not in electronic components of the TV set.  (This scheme also applies to AI working on computers or through the Internet, where AI software is materialistic but not spiritual.)  Electronic components like our bodies are material but electromagnetic waves like spirits around us are spiritual.               

Put simply, this world was created with spiritual energy in the spirit world, and souls of human beings have been also created with spiritual energy in the spirit world.  So, it is natural that we have to be spiritual rather than materialistic in praying to the God.  And this is what the Lord Jesus Christ told 2,000 years ago.

So, we can be given the ability to use the spiritual energy and force like Disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ.  As the spiritual energy and force supersede material energy and force, we can perform miracles in this material world like the Lord Jesus Christ.  

No physical laws are applicable to the spiritual energy and force.  This is the principle of power of faith in the God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore, it is recommended to have very strong and pure faith so as to be given the spiritual ability or the supernatural ability by the God.  If so, we may cure the sick and solve any problems in the human world by power of the spiritual energy.

Yet, those whose souls have been sold to Satan to get materialistic happiness and satisfy material desires should not be able to have strong and pure faith in the God enough to be given the spiritual energy.  Only poor and pure men should be loved by the God so as to be given the spiritual energy.

This is one of conclusions obtained from spiritually reading the Gospels.

"Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat" - Spiritualism in Japan

 
A Park around Tokyo

Spiritualism in Japan

Japan opened the door and started full diplomatic relationships with other countries such as the U.S. and European countries in the late 19th century, and since then Japan has successfully introduced Western civilization to become a leading industrial country in East Asia.  But, Japan has not fully accepted Christianity.  Even today Christians account for about 1% of the Japanese population.

Yet, Japanese do not deny power of Christianity, since Imperial Japan was defeated by the U.S. in WWII.  Japanese Shintoism gods and other deities of Buddhism did not bring victory to Imperial Japan over the Christian nation, the U.S., and other allied nations.  It looked as if Christian spirits had superseded Japanese traditional deities of Japanese Buddhism and Shintoism.  Even the current Japanese national constitution is based on American democracy based on Christianity.  Japan has become a quasi Christian country after WWII under influence of the U.S.  Therefore, even the Japanese Imperial Family respects the cultures of the U.S., the U.K., and other European Christian countries.  Yet, most of the Japanese people have not lost their faith in Japanese Buddhism and Shintoism.        

Spiritualism in Europe and the U.S. is rooted in Christianity, but spiritualism in Japan is rooted in Japanese Buddhism and Shintoism as well as nature worship that seems to have started 30,000 years ago when a group of the mankind first arrived at the Japanese archipelago from Africa through Siberia or the Chinese mainland or South East Asia.   

According to official statistics of Japan, those who believe in Shintoism account for 48.5% of the Japanese people, those believing in Buddhism account for 46.3%, those believing in Christianity account for 1%, and others for 4%.  But, all of the Japanese are under influence of the nature worship, which makes the Japanese unique in their behaviors in the world where monotheistic faith is mainstream. 

But, with influence of Western culture and civilization, there has been a trend of suppressing spiritualism based on Shintoism and Japanese Buddhism.  So, modern spiritualism in Japan has been introduced from the U.S. and Europe although spiritualism based on Shintoism and Japanese Buddhism has never been lost among general population of Japan.  Even the authority of the Imperial Family of Japan is still based on Japanese mythology based on Shintoism.

In Japan there are women who perform communications with the dead by profession in addition to those who perform occult acts based on Shintoism or Japanese Buddhism.  However, if a doctor in a university hospital gave treatment to the sick like a psychic healer, he should be naturally expelled. 

But, a professor of the University of Tokyo working as a doctor in its university hospital claimed that he could communicate with his deceased mother through a spirit medium.  He wrote a book on his experience with the spirit medium, and the book sold well.

After retiring from the University, the professor started to make spiritualism popular, emphasizing that after physical death one's soul should go on living in the spirit world.  He also started to study qi (energy emitted from the human body).  He seems to come to believe in existence of unseen energy and entities such as spirits, which is not accepted by mainstream scientists in Japan.   

However, according to some scholars, there have been many examples in the Japanese history where spirits or ghosts played major roles behind the scone.  Many Japanese people like to tell or listen to ghost stories.  Yet, only one third of the Japanese believe in existence of the afterlife or the spirit world while two thirds of Americans believe.

The Japanese people are absorbed in convenience, pleasure, or pleasant sensation modern technology and industry give.  The more materialistic people become, the less spiritual they become.  Japanese Shintoism and Buddhism are useless in maintaining spiritualism in this era of science and technology.  Rather, Christianity seems to have more chances in keeping spiritualism in this era.

However, the traditional Japanese affection to simple and pure life coincide with teaching of the Lord Jesus Christ.  Traditionally the Japanese despise those who love money and accumulate wealth.  The Japanese believe that excellent monks of Buddhism and priests of Shintoism who are poor and pure can have supernatural power.  Indeed, the poorer and purer a religious man becomes, the more he can perform a miracle, which is a kind of Japanese commonsense.

Yet, modern material life has tarnished spiritual sense of the Japanese people.  We can see how Satan has made the Japanese lose interest in the afterlife or the spirit world.  "Make one love money and wealth" is Satan's strategy so as to make people unable to understand the teaching of Jesus Christ. 

So, I hope that the Japanese will come back to their tradition of respecting poor and pure life so as to be able to understand teaching of the Lord Jesus Christ.  Then, spiritualism will be more clearly promoted in Japan.  And, Japanese people will cease to be afraid of death.

John 6, King James Version
15 When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.
16 And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea,
17 And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.
18 And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.
19 So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid.
20 But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.
21 Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.

22 The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone;

"Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth" - Spiritual Energy as Dangerous as Nuclear Energy

 

A Park around Tokyo

Spiritual Energy as Dangerous as Nuclear Energy

This world was created by the God, which is a kind of commonsense among most of religious people in the world, although some people believe that this universe was scientifically created without gods or has existed spontaneously from infinite time ago.  

But this modern world and its civilization are based on the Western Culture built on Christianity, and the most respected book there, the Bible, reads virtually that in the beginning the God created this material world and the human world from the spirit world with spiritual energy in addition to His notion, images, and words.  Especially, power of God's words was crucial and effective. 

Therefore, this material world where we live is essentially made of spiritual energy.  That is why the modern science cannot completely give clear and understandable answers to the most basic and advanced questions such as how the universe was created materially and why elementary particles smaller than atoms behave beyond our commonsense.  The modern science cannot even give answers as to whether or not the afterlife exists or how supernatural power works.  It is because the modern science does not admit the spirit world, the spiritual energy, and even the God.

Modern scientists are like mad men who, after long and hard study, believe that they have found that the human mind does not exist while they are thinking by use of their minds.         

Anyway, the general common idea about the worlds, the spaces, and the dimensions are as follows:

"The God" => "The Spirit World" => "The Material World" => "The Human World"

The spirit world should include the world for dead men, various spirits, holy spirits and angels of various religions, Heaven, the hells, etc.  But, God's energy and power should flow into the human world and the material world through the spirit world.  

So, as the Lord Jesus Christ told people, there are the afterlife, Heaven, and the hells.  Souls of dead men continue to live in the spirit world.  And, more importantly, the Lord Jesus Christ gave His Disciples the ability to use the spiritual power like He could.  Consequently His disciples could heal the sick and drive out evil spirits from people, and they never got harmed even when they were poisoned.  Indeed, if a man could use the spiritual energy, he should be able to perform miracles like the Lord Jesus Christ.

But, the Lord Jesus Christ did not give His Disciples any machine, tools, or special magic words.  He should have just prayed to the God for strengthening and enhancing the spiritual ability of His Disciples. 

From the beginning, the God did not use any machine or tools when creating this material world.  He used His imagination, notion, and words.  So, the Lord Jesus Christ used His imagination, notion, and words when strengthening and enhancing the spiritual ability of His Disciples.

     

Therefore, it must be possible for us to strengthen and enhance our spiritual ability by using our imagination, notion, and words.  Indeed, some Buddhist monks and Shinto ascetics in Japan have tried to undergo hard ascetic training to refine their minds and spiritual status.  Some of them have succeed in obtaining supernatural ability.  There are some records of such supernatural Buddhist monks and Shinto ascetics in the Japanese history.  There are also legends of Christian monks, nuns, priests, and believers who could perform supernatural acts due to their extraordinary faith.  They all have not used any specific machine or tools.  With their faith, imagination, notion, and ideas in addition to some holy or sacred words, they have been able to use the spirit energy.

But, there are those who have congenitally such ability to use the spirit power.  They have not undergone ascetic training or religious lives.  And, there are those who have acquired such ability through some diseases, accidents, or near-death experiences.  

If we can get some means to scientifically measure and evaluate states of minds and souls of others, we might find keys to obtaining the ability to use the spiritual energy and cause miracles.

At present, the most surest way to obtain the ability to use the spiritual energy seems to strengthen and enhance our faith in the God.  Indeed, Satan seems to be able to give such power to evil men who have strong faith in Satan.

So, all we have to do is to pray that the God should send His angels to stop Satan from helping and supporting evil men who are trying to get any supernatural power through the spiritual energy.  Indeed, the spiritual power can be as dangerous as nuclear power.  Only pious believers in the God should be allowed to use it.

In this context, occult fads and cult religions are dangerous.  The spiritual energy in the hand of those without faith in God but with faith in Satan should be as dangerous as nuclear power in the hand of a mad or evil leader in a non-democratic country.

Matthew 6, King James Version
15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
16 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;
18 That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

"which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases" - The Spirit World and The Material World

A Park around Tokyo

The Spirit World and The Material World

According to those who have claimed that they once entered into the spirit world in any way such as near-death experiences and spiritual experiences, everything they wished there was immediately realized and embodied.  So, there is no need to earn and use money.  In addition, there are no restrictions of time and space there.  However, not all that entered into the spirit world advanced to Heaven but some voluntarily went to the hells to avoid bright light of the God.   

The description on the afterlife or the spirit world by Swedenborg is accepted by must of them as true, though he lived in the 18th-century world. 

Put simply, the afterlife or the spirit world is a world of notion and thoughts.  Indeed, the Bible reads that the God created the world with His words and notion.  The God first created the spirit world and then the material world with spiritual energy.  Spirits were also created in the spirit world and put into the human brains in the material world.  The spirits turned to souls to create human minds in the human brains.  So, when a man dies, his material body collapses but his soul with his mind leaves this material world and comes back to the spirit world as a spirit.  This is the common view on the spirit world by those who have claimed that they have seen the spirit world.  Physical death in this world is not death of souls and minds.  It is consistent with words of the Lord Jesus Christ.

So, Christianity prevailed for centuries among people who believed in the afterlife.  In this context, the Middle Ages in Europe  (from the late 4th century to the 10th century) are not dark ages but bright ages with hope of the bright afterlife.  Europeans in the Middle Ages should have lived happily spiritually.

But with the Crusades in the 11th century, this belief in the afterlife or the spirit world was tarnished. Furthermore, with the Industrial Revolution started in the late 18th century, this belief came to fade away.  And finally around the 21st century, with development of computers and AI, this belief has been regarded as fantasy.     

Yet, in each era when the belief in the afterlife or the spirit world was drastically decreased, some spiritual activities or phenomena appeared in the human world.  Examples were Swedenborg, Mary's Apparition in Fatima, Harry Edwards, Yuri Geller, etc.  They all suggest the existence of the spirit world and the spiritual energy. 

From the beginning, the Lord Jesus Christ taught that there is the spirit world.  The human civilization in these 2,000 years has been built on this teaching.  The belief in existence of Heaven and the hells has been the basics of the human civilization.  But, it is about to be cast out with development of computers and AI.  However, computers and AI cannot see the spirit world, deliver warnings on coming wars and natural catastrophe to the mankind, heal the sick through spiritual energy, or even bend a spoon with spiritual power.       

With the belief in the afterlife and the spirit world, Christianity and this world civilization started 2,000 years ago.  But, with fading away of this belief, this world civilization is about to collapse in the 21st century.  

Finally, to avoid the coming tragic catastrophe in this century, we have to revive the belief in the afterlife and the spirit world.  We have to reaffirm that this universe and the material world were created by the spiritual energy.  Then, all mysteries in modern science should be solved.

According to those who were allowed to see the spirit world, most of elite scientists, scholars, and savants were in the hells still claiming their useless argument and theories like mad men.  So, while people who believe in the afterlife and the spirit world are regarded as a kind of mad men in this human world, professors, etc. who deny the afterlife and the spirit world are treated as mad souls in the afterlife or the spirit world. 

At least, those who can exercise their spiritual ability or supernatural power never deny the existence of the spiritual energy even in this material world.

And, what I want to claim is that the Lord Jesus Christ must have come from the spirit world.  To regard Him as a simple son of a man is a big mistake.  If a king came into society to see people's life, he should claim that he is just a son of a man, which is not a lie but should be purposely claimed so as not to terrify citizens, since the king can dispose of them in any way according to his will.

"when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did" - Threefold Souls Going to the Hells Nowadays

Around Tokyo

Threefold Souls Going to the Hells Nowadays  

Thee is traditionally a thought called promotion of poor and pure life in Japan. 

This thought resembles the teaching of the Lord Jesus Christ to encourage poor, pure and pious life.  Indeed, traditionally Japanese have thought that money is something dirty and menial.  However, modern Japanese look loving money like anybody in the world.  But, as Japan had been governed by the samurai (warrior) class for hundreds of years but not by the merchant class, the thought of respecting poor and pure life once prevailed deeply in the Japanese society.    

To understand the Japanese culture, you have to appreciate the thought of promotion of poor and pure life.  And, to understand the Lord Jesus Christ, you have to appreciate His teaching of encouragement of poor, pure, and pious life.

Indeed, if you live according to this Jesus' teaching, you will never sell your soul to Satan so as to get money and acquire wealth.  However, modern science and technology have introduced very convenient, comfortable and pleasure-producing environments.  To have such life, people need and want money.  And, to get money and acquire wealth, people do not mind selling their souls to Satan.  So, this human world has come under Satan's influence.

This trend seems to have been intensified since the Industrial Revolution launched in the late 18th century in England.  But it should be noted that Isaac Newton who lived in the early 18th century predicted that the material civilization should collapse around 2060.  What's more, Swedenborg who was allowed to see the spirit world in the 18th century wrote that the Last Judgement was carried out in the spirit world in the 18th century and its effect should appear in the 21st century or so in the human world.

Indeed, modern people measure the global temperature rise in comparison to the global temperature in the world before the Industrial Revolution.  This Revolution should be the starting point of rise and collapse of the modern human material civilization.  And, the God allowed Newton and Swedenborg to deliver warnings to the mankind just before the Industrial Revolution.

In addition, according to an unusual Japanese who claimed that he had seen and entered into the spirit world for more than 40 years since he was a late teenager, human souls who go to the hells have increased threefold compared to those who went to the hells 100 years ago.  It is unknown why he was allowed to see and enter into the spirit world like Swedenborg in the 18th century.  He is an ordinary man.  But he once earned about 30 million dollars through his real estate agency business.  He wrote that he lost a half of the amount of money due to falling to victim to a scam and he spent the rest of money for his volunteer activities.  Indeed, he must live a poor and pure life nowadays after writing a few books on his experiences in the spirit world.

What has concerned to me is that it was 100 years ago that the Holy Mother appeared in Fatima, Portugal, to deliver warnings to people through little children.  The children told that the Holy Mother lamented so many souls going to the hells after death in this world.   

Anyway, it is no wonder that a Japanese who loves poor and pure life is allowed to see the spirit world although outwardly his life looks foolish.

John 6, King James Version

12 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.
13 Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.
14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.

"and continued all night in prayer to God" - Light and Minds Linked with the Spirit World

A Park around Tokyo

Light and Minds Linked with the Spirit World 

The speed of light is constant if observed and measured by anyone moving at any speed.  This is called the principle of constancy of light velocity.  But, it suggests that light is an entity not in this material world but in the spirit world.

The relationship between this material world and the spirit world never changes no matter if a man in this material world moves at any speed in this material world.  Heaven a man imagines in this world at any speed never moves.  If a man imagines Heaven while walking or in a jet plane flying fast, Heaven never moves.  Likewise, light never changes its speed even if observed or measured by a man walking or in a jet plane flying fast in this world.  This means that light is essentially a phenomenon in the spirit world but its shadow is projected from the spirit world to this material world.   

Moreover, according to Einstein, energy (E) in this world can be expresses as E = MC^2 with mass (M) of a material object in this world and square of light speed C^2 that is a phenomenon in the spirit world.  This equation means that a phenomenon in the spirit world, which is light (C), can influence this world by delivering material energy (E) through a material factor of mass (M).  

In addition, there is another special phenomenon in this material world that is called the human mind that has no mass like light but works at the light speed or more.  So, it is natural to think that the human mind has some relationship with the spirit world like light.  The speed of the mind work never changes even if a man moves at any speed, walking or in a fast jet plane, like the speed of light.  And, as light has a relationship with energy in this world, the human mind can have a relationship with energy in this world.

So, a man with supernatural power or spiritual power to cause a paranormal phenomenon should be able to put his mind in a special state.  Then, his mind should be able to work on a material object to deliver energy like E = MS^2 with S as a spiritual quantity of a state of his mind.  But, this S, namely the spiritual quantity of a state of the mind, should vary according to each man.  The higher one's S is, the more he can perform a miracle.       

So, some people should be born with high spiritual quantities of their minds.  Others might try to enhance their spiritual quantities of their minds through ascetic training or religious training.  This is why there were some Buddhist monks or Shinto priests in Japan who performed miracles with their spiritual power.  And, people like Yuri Geller should have special constitutional spiritual ability with higher S in their minds.   

However, it is not yet clear how to measure the spiritual quantity of one's mind.  None can see how pure or great other man's mind is spiritually.  An outwardly poor, little, and weak man might have a very pure or great mind spiritually.  He might be able to cause a miracle like the Lord Jesus Christ.

Anyway, light is an example of phenomena that links this material world with the spirit world.  And another example should be our minds or souls.

More importantly, it is assumed that this material world where we live was created from the spirit world through words and notion of the God who must have used spiritual energy, light, and His mind work. 

Indeed, the Gospel reads as follows: And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not (John 1).  The material world should be dark without light from the spirit world.  The mankind should live in darkness without a spirit/soul coming from the spirit world to generate the human mind in the material world.

10 And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other.
11 And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus.
12 And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.

"there abide till ye depart from that place" - Can Spiritualism Save the World?

 

A River around Tokyo

Can Spiritualism Save the World?

There are many who believe in the afterlife or the spirit world.  But, this world has not been improved.  Why is not the world improved while so many people believe in the afterlife or the spirit world?

The answer is that most of such people still want material happiness in this world even if there is the afterlife or the spirit world.  They think that their being materially happy in this world will not  hinder their enjoying happiness in the afterlife or the spirit world.  In other word. they think that they can be happy in this world and also in the afterlife or the spirit world, while our Lord Jesus Christ declared that the rich could not be accepted in Heaven.

Indeed. convenience, enjoyment, and pleasure the material civilization in this world gives people are so strong.  Therefore, people should try to enjoy them as much as possible while they are alive in this world.  However, the more people purchase material happiness, the less they pursue spiritual happiness promised in the afterlife or the spirit world.  In one case, a successful, rich, and elite man thought that he would see a god in the afterlife who gave him such fortune in this world.  But, the god he would meet in the afterlife or the spirit world should be Satan.  

In most cases, for a man to be socially successful and rich in this world, he should neglect poor and unlucky neighbors and lose fears to the God.  Instead, he should pursue money and revere wealth as a god, while money is another form of Satan.  Put simply, rich and elite men finally come to worship Satan as a god.  That is why the Lord Jesus Christ said that men should take money or the God.  Those who choose money that is another form of Satan over the God should be naturally rejected in Heaven.

So, a religious man who even believes in the existence of the afterlife or the spirit world but chooses money and wealth or convenience, enjoyment, and pleasure in the material civilization over the God at the bottom of his mind should go to the hells after death in this world.      

According to Swedenborg and other special spiritual people who have been allowed to see the afterlife or the spirit world while living in this world, only those who really love neighbors and the God are allowed to enter into Heaven regardless of their religions or status in this world.  Being altruistic seems to be essential qualification to be admitted into Heaven.      

Indeed, compared with spiritual happiness to be given in Heaven, any material happiness in this world should be nothing.  If people should realize this truth, none would pursue material happiness by neglecting poor and unlucky neighbors and ignoring the teachings of the God and the Lord Jesus Christ.  Yet, most of people are easily brainwashed by Satan, so that they pursue money and wealth to enjoy convenience, enjoyment, and pleasure in the material civilization, even if they believe in the afterlife or the spirit world.

For this reason, the Lord Jesus Christ said that if a repenting rich man came back from a hell to this world and told his families and friends not to pursue material happiness, money, and wealth in this world, it should be meaningless, since his families and friends could not abandon convenience, enjoyment, and pleasure in the material civilization.  The desire for enjoying material happiness is so strong.

So, spiritualism alone cannot improve this world.  It should be backed up by love to the God and neighbors or the teaching of the Lord Jesus Christ.  Otherwise, if the fear for the God became stronger than material desire, this world might be saved with more spiritual people backing away from money that is another form of Satan.

Mark 6, King James Version
7 And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;
8 And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse:
9 But be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats.
10 And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place.
11 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
12 And they went out, and preached that men should repent.

"he entered into the synagogue and taught" - Light between the Material world and the Spirit World

A Park around Tokyo
 

Light between the Material World and the Spirit World

Light is an entity or a phenomenon on the border between this material world and the spirit world.

When this material universe was created, the spiritual energy turned to space, time, and the light from which other material elementary particles were made.

The principle of constancy of light velocity, meaning that the speed of light is constant when observed by anybody moving at any speed, shows that light also belongs to the spirit world.  Therefore, any observers of light who are moving at any speed find light moving at the same speed, about 300,000 km/sec.  Indeed, if an observer in this world is moving at any speed, the distance to the spirit world and the relative speed against the spirit world must be the same.  So, light should belong to this material world as a kind of shadow as well as the spirit world where it actually moves.

There is also a famous equation about energy and mass of material in this world: E = MC^2.  This equation means that energy in the material world is related to mass of a material in this world and the square of velocity of the light, an entity that also belongs to the spirit world.  It means that there is relationship of energy and force between this material world and the spirit world.

The energy of light without mass is expressed as E = h x (frequency of light).  Many men with spiritual ability and researchers of spiritualism often tell that minds have power in the form of wave motion.  And the mind has also no mass; it cannot be a material in this world.  In addition, the mind or the soul of a man is regarded as something having energy in the form of wave motion like light.  As light is related to the spirit world, it is natural to think that the mind or the soul is related to the spirit world, although it is confined in the human brain in this world.  

So, it is no wonder that some specific men can see the spirit world through special work of their minds or souls.

But, the best way to access and see or feel the spirit world should be through faith in holy and great spirits in the spirit world, although some people on their deathbeds sometimes see the spirit world through near-death experiences.  In deed, some Buddhist monks, Shinto priests, or practitioners of Shugen-do in Japan see the spirit world or communicate with spirits living in the spirit world.  

However, faith in the God, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Mother Mary should more drastically allow believers to access and see or feel the spirit world.  One example is Swedenborg who lived in the 18th century like Isaac Newton who studied the sun light.  And another example is children in Fatima, Portugal, in 1917; it is said that the miracle of the sun's dancing was observed at the time.  

Anyway we have to admit that there is the spirit world or the afterlife.  Properties of light must be the proof.  And we have to believe that our minds or souls in the human brains should leave the brains after physical death and enter into the spirit world or the afterlife. 

And, as light has energy and force effective in this material world, our minds or souls should also have energy and force effective in this world.  So, the Lord Jesus Christ must have caused various miracles through His mind or soul by using the spiritual energy.

Luke 6, King James Version
3 And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was an hungred, and they which were with him;
4 How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone?
5 And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
6 And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered.
7 And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him.
8 But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth.
9 Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?

"A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country" - Material World vs. Spirit World

 

Around Tokyo

Material World vs. Spirit World

Light has no mass but could generate energy as E = MC^2 according to  Einstein's theory in modern physics (E: energy; M: mass; c: light velocity).

The human body is made of mass and can produce various energy with its parts with specific mass.  And according to work of the mind, the fingers, hands, etc. of the human body can move based on energy produced by the work of the mind, while the mind has no mass like light. 

However, the modern science cannot identify or explain what the true origin of the mind is in terms of material aspects such as mass.

From a point of view in the universal scale, it is believed that materials such as elemental particles and other components of atoms with mass were made of light without mass in an environment with very high energy.

Put simply, this material universe where we live was created from light without mass and primordial universal energy.  And a human being is made of the mind without mass and the material body consisting of atoms.

The key to understanding the material universe and the human mind is realizing that energy and force beyond this material world exist and work.  Indeed, light is the key element in this material universe and had no mass.  The human mind is the key element in a human being and has no mass.  And, what has no mass should come from the spirit world.  Put clearly, this material universe and our minds should have been created from the spirit world. 

That is why the modern material science cannot identify and explain how this material universe was materially created.  In addition, the modern science of psychology and other natural science cannot identify and explain how the human mind was created and works.

Indeed, it is natural that the spirit world and the spiritual energy/force cannot be identified and elucidated with material science.  Truly, even if we cannot fully elucidate the origin of the material universe from a point of scientific view, it really exists; even if we cannot fully elucidate what our minds are and how they work in terms of scientific aspects, they exist and work.  What cannot be fully scientifically explained and elucidated can exist and work.  But, if we admitted the spirit world, we should be able to accept the fact that the material universe and our minds (souls) were created from the spiritual energy to content ourselves. 

Finally, we have to admit that this material universe was created from the spirit world and our minds (souls) were created from the spiritual energy.       

So, it is natural to think and believe that our minds (souls) should enter into the spirit world (the afterlife) after death of our bodies in the earth, a tiny part of this material universe. 

Based on this notion, we have to read the Bible and interpret the words and the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ.

It should be blessing if you could see various spirits in this material world, but the Lord Jesus Chris meant that it was more blessing if you could have faith in the God without seeing them.

Mark 6, King James Version
2 And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?
3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.
4 But Jesus, said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.
5 And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.
6 And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.
