"lo, he speaketh boldly" - Mind, Soul, and Spirit with the Spiritual Energy

 

Around Tokyo

Mind, Soul, and Spirit with the Spiritual Energy

The Bible reads as the God created this material world by use of His words.

It should mean that the God crated the material world by use of spiritual energy with His words, since there had been already the spirit world and the spiritual energy before the creation of the material world.  And, the God did not use any physical laws but should use His words, notion, thoughts, and imaginative power.  Put simply, the God did not use any material machine and tools in His creation of the material world.  Therefore, efforts to find scientifically how this material universe was generated cannot succeed.

The Bible also reads that the God put His breath into the first man to make him live as a man.  It should mean that a spirit in the spirit world was put into the brain of the man.  This spirit turned to a soul that started to work generating a mind.  Put simply, minds of men were not generated in the process of biological evolution but generated as a result of God's act to create men with part of God's power.  Therefore, efforts to find scientifically how the human minds were generated cannot succeed.      

(https://www.quora.com/Is-God-a-soul)

Therefore, it is possible for a man to reach the level of God through his body, mind, soul and spirit.  But it is not easy, since this path from a human body to the level of the God is so narrow and hard to find, get, and keep it.  How can a man find this path?  He should have suitable DNA structure and gene configuration that only the God can give.

Maybe one in billion men has the suitable DNA and gene structure; one in billion of billion men has the suitable soul structure; and one in billion of billion of billion men has the suitable spirit that can reach the level of the God.  And, the Lord Jesus Christ should be the one whose spirit, soul, and mind could reach the level of the God.  But, anyway there is the path to reach the level of the God through the material world and the spirit world.  Indeed, if a man could proceed along this path, he should be able to use the spiritual energy like the God, the Lord Jesus Christ, and other saints.          

The Lord Jesus Christ said to be perfect.  With the perfect mind and soul, one's spirit should work to reach the level of the God like in the case of the Lord Jesus Christ.  The suitable mind should ultimately mean the perfect mind.

But, with a higher level of the mind, one may come to use the spiritual energy.  As the God used His words to move and use the spiritual energy in creating the material world, a man with a higher level of the mind might move and use any little part of the spiritual energy by use of his words and thoughts.

The best way to have a higher level of the mind is to have pure, deep, and strong faith in the God.  The Lord Jesus Christ seemed to choose such disciples for mission to the world.  Therefore, Christianity was promoted by Christ's disciples who could use the spiritual energy.  That is why Christianity has prevailed in the world for 2,000 years, which is truly a miracle.  Indeed, it is a miracle that the Vatican still exists 1,500 years after the collapse of the Roman Empire.  The Vatican should be supported by the spiritual energy used by the Lord Jesus Christ and His disciples.   

Finally, by admitting that one had a mind, a soul, and a spirit, he should become able to use the spiritual energy and perform miracles even in this material world only if he could make his mind, soul, and spirit perfect.  Anyway, this material world was made of the spiritual energy that surpasses physical laws.

John 7, King James Version
24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?
26 But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
27 Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.

"Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord" - Go to the Hells or Enter Heaven?

 

A Park around Tokyo

Go to the Hells or Enter Heaven? 

There are only the two types of people: Those who go to the hells and others who are accepted in Heaven.  In other words, after physical death in this world men would go to the hells or can be accepted in Heaven in the spirit world (the afterlife).  

In the hells Satan occupy and dominate those who come to the hells voluntarily.  Their souls are ultimately to be destroyed with Satan by the God.  It is the second and true death after which nothing is left for them; it is the complete disappearance of spirits to null.

In Heave, those who are accepted there are allowed to enhance their souls further higher and closer to the level of the God.  They are to be given eternal life and spiritual happiness as the Lord Jesus Christ said.

To believe in the above theory is the true faith in the God.  And, from this faith everything should be derived.    

But amenity, senses of pleasure, and satisfaction of material desires realized in material civilization are so strong that people try to pursue money that is needed to get happiness in the material civilization.  Indeed, for anyone to satisfy desire is regraded as something good; therefore to earn money is good.  Finally, they revere money as a god.  To pursue material happiness with money becomes a religion for them.  But, as money is another form of Satan, they actually revere Satan as a god, which is the real state of the human world.   

Money has become a global religion, and Satan in the form of money is revere as a god.  But, this is completely against teachings of the God and the Lord Jesus Christ.  But, as the human material civilization has come to this state, the God should punish the mankind, which is the claim and content of the real Christianity as the Holy Mother has warned people for past centuries. 

Indeed, if a man becomes more materialistic, he will become less spiritual.  To achieve material happiness he would revere Satan, neglect what is good and holy, and forget teachings of the God.  These people should proceed to the hells.

So, no matter how much rich people, who have enjoyed material happiness, pray to the God, saying, "Lord, Lord, please accept us in Heaven," their hope will be neglected, since they have already revered Satan (money) as a god. 

But those with faith in the God having poor and pure life should be accepted in Heaven, since they have never sold their souls to Satan for money.

Truly, there are only the two types of people: Those who get material happiness in this world and proceed to the hells in the afterlife and those who live poor and pure in this world and will be accepted in Heaven to have eternal life.  And as a majority of people belong to the former, the God should soon punish this human material civilization.

Matthew 7, King James Version
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

"The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil" - Focus on Holy Ones from Heaven but Not on Space Aliens

 

Around Tokyo


Focus on Holy Ones from Heaven but Not on Space Aliens


Decades ago, a Japanese Diet lawmaker visited Uri Geller and asked him how he got his super-natural power.  Uri Geller answered that when he had been a little child in Tel Aviv a small UFO had appeared and issued a strong ray of light to him and afterwards he could bend a spoon while he was watching the spoon.  He also added that the God might give him this ability.

Indeed, there are many people who have witnessed UFOs or communicated with men in UFOs.  And some of them told that a UFO could be operated or navigated by power of will, thoughts, or notion as they got in a UFO and witnessed how it was driven.  There are many psychics who do not deny the existence of UFOs.  

This material universe was created by the God using His words and notion to work on spiritual energy.  So, the spiritual energy should still work in this material universe.  And those who can use this spiritual energy through his notion and thoughts should be able to perform miracles like the Lord Jesus Christ.  And, Uri Geller is one of them.   

More importantly, there are a few hundreds billion solar systems in our Milky Way Galaxy and there are several hundreds billion galaxies in the whole universe.  Therefore, there must be other higher forms of life in other solar systems in other galaxies.  Among such higher forms of life, there should be some space aliens who have mastered how to use the spiritual energy that surpasses the physical laws.  They might use UFOs and visit the earth.  Therefore, spirit researchers should naturally encounter the issue of UFOs and space aliens.   

Put simply, UFOs and space aliens should be able to use the spiritual energy to whose level the mankind has not yet grown and reached.  So, UFOs and aliens can easily destroy the material civilization of the mankind with their ability to use the spiritual energy.  Indeed, the spiritual energy is the source to create this material universe and surpasses any physical laws.  To space aliens who have mastered how to use the spiritual energy, the mankind are helpless.

Nonetheless, UFOs and space aliens, even if they really exist, seem not to be evil-minded to the mankind.  They seem not to try to conquer the mankind and occupy the earth.

Yet, space aliens were also created by the God as with the mankind in the earth.  When space aliens die physically, their souls should also enter the spirit world like the mankind in the earth.  Indeed, Swedenborg also wrote that he saw other types of mankind from other planets in the spirit world where he was allowed to enter while living in the earth in the 18th century.                

Hot, dust-obscured galaxies (Hot DOGs), like the one circled in purple, may have similar energy signatures to hypothetical alien structures called Dyson spheres, new research suggests. (Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/UCLA) (https://www.livescience.com/space/extraterrestrial-life/7-potential-alien-megastructures-spotted-in-our-galaxy-are-not-what-they-seem)
 
So, to communicate with such advanced space aliens and UFOs, the mankind should also evolve to have the ability to use the spiritual energy.

And for us to grow spiritually, we should understand more spiritually the contents of the Bible and the Gospels.  As our lord Jesus Christ came from the spirit world, we have to learn more from Him and master how to use the spiritual energy.  The God for us should be the same God those space aliens revere and obey.  The key to understanding and handling the space aliens and UFOs is to strengthen and deepen our faith in the God and our lord Jesus Christ, since the spiritual energy essentially belongs to the God.

This whole material universe was made by the God using power of His words, thoughts, and notion so as to use the spiritual energy.  The spiritual energy should turn to material energy generating time, space, and substance.  And spirits came from the spirit world to the material world to enter the human brains to become  souls where minds are generated.  So, inherently we should have power to use the spiritual energy like the God through power of our words, thoughts, and notion.  Truly, some psychics like Uri Geller can use the spiritual energy to perform miracles.  Truly, any tribes and races have traditions of using the spiritual power.  But, as the material civilization has developed and power of science and technology overwhelmed the world, such spiritual tradition has been long forgotten.  

So, from a spiritual point of view, the mankind is in a state of degeneration.  As the end of the current material civilization seems to be close, we had better study spiritual matters more religiously rather than scientifically.  Indeed, what the Holy Mother who have delivered warnings about collapse of the human civilization in these centuries in Her apparition stressed is the need for us to regain spiritual power so that we will be accepted in Heaven in the spirit world.

In this context, space aliens and UFOs do not come from the spirit world or Heaven like Mary's apparition.  We should focus on those who have come from Heaven more than on space aliens and UFOs even if they can use the spiritual energy.

18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?
20 The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?
21 Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.

"Till another king arose" - Use the Spiritual Energy for Good Causes

 

Path to Shinto Shrine around Tokyo

Use the Spiritual Energy for Good Causes 

Where and how were our minds generated?  Scientists cannot answer to this fundamental question.  

But, they know any molecules, atoms, and elementary particles forming brain cells do not have such ability to generate a mind.  So, they think that some biological, chemical, and physical work of these elements should create a human mind.  But, the opposite must be true: as a mind works, these elements should work accordingly.  A mind is a state of one's soul working in human brain cells, and a human soul is a specific form of a human spirit coming from the spirit world.  The issue should be handled religiously or spiritually rather than scientifically, since the human science is effective only in the material world and meaningless in the spirit world.     

So, the spirit world is principal and the material world is secondary.  We came from the spirit world into our brains and will leave the brains for the spirit world when our physical bodies die.  This is common sense among psychics and spirit researchers.  Put simply, after physical death in this world, one's mind on his soul continues to live as a spirit in the spirit world. 

But, the notion that this material world was created by the God with His words and thinking power using spiritual energy in the spirit world should lead to understanding that the spiritual energy surpasses physical laws in the material world.  Therefore, saints such as the Lord Jesus Christ can perform miracles with the ability to use the spiritual energy and force that have precedence over physical and natural laws.  So, such men can change weather, produce foods from the air, float in the air, etc.  The description of miracles caused by the Lord Jesus Christ must be true but not metaphors or descriptions of magics.     

But how can a man use the spiritual energy to cause miracles?  According to the Gospels, the Lord Jesus Christ selected his disciples for missions to whom He gave the power to use the spiritual ability so that they could heal the sick, defeat evil spirits, and have no effects from poisons.

So, this ability to use the spiritual energy should be given by the God through the Lord Jesus Christ on the condition that you have pure, strong, and deep faith enough to be acknowledged by the God or the Lord Jesus Christ.

However, many monks, priests, ascetics, priestesses, etc. of Japanese Buddhism, Shintoism, etc. have spiritually trained themselves to enhance their minds and souls so as to acquire this ability to use the spiritual energy.  Even some psychics seem to have congenitally this ability; they must have inherently pure and strong faith in the God or other deities.            

So, miracles caused by psychics or religious people can be explained in this way that they happen to have the ability to use the spiritual energy. 

Anyway, this material world was created by the spiritual energy, and thus the spiritual energy can still work in this material world.  But, to use it safely and effectively, we have to have pure, strong, and deep faith so as to be authorized by the God or the Lord Jesus Christ.  Otherwise, it can be dangerous to use the spirit energy, since an evil man with this ability might be able to curse somebody else to death through the spiritual energy.

We should pray for peace so that the spiritual energy would bring peace in this world.  Then we will not be punished by the God for the reason that we abuse this super ability to use the spiritual energy.

Acts 7, King James Version
11 Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance.
12 But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first.
13 And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph's kindred was made known unto Pharaoh.
14 Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to him, and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls.
15 So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers,
16 And were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor the father of Sychem.
17 But when the time of the promise drew nigh, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
18 Till another king arose, which knew not Joseph.

"If any man have ears to hear" - Be Unselfish and Doubtless

 

Sunset around Tokyo

Be Unselfish and Doubtless

According to physical laws, nothing is generated from nothing; the total amount of energy in the whole universe never changes despite elapse of time.  Then, where did the original energy in the universe at its establishment come?

Scientists would answer that fluctuation of the vacuum space energy should have caused generation of the original universe.  But we should think that spiritual energy in the spirit world turned to energy in the material world, generating time and space that have formed the universe.  

So, we should simply admit that there is the spiritual world where various spirits live and some spirits came to the human brains to become our souls to generate our minds.  Therefore, it is natural that when we physically die our souls with our minds leave our bodies to come back to the spirit world as spirits.  In other words, there is no death for our minds, although our physical bodies die in this material world.

So, the Lord Jesus Christ said not to fear those who tried to kill our bodies but to fear the God who could kill our spirits in the spirt world.  In this case, the death of our spirits in the spirit world is the second death that is ultimately decisive after which there is left nothing, meaning complete naught.   

But, more importantly the spirit energy can work also in the material world as with in the spirit world.  And, as the God used the spiritual energy in His creation of the material universe with His words, notion, and imaginative power, men could access and use the spiritual energy through their minds and souls.  But, to use the spiritual energy, a man should be in specific states of his mind and soul.  That is why men with supernatural power cannot explain why they can perform miracles; they should not clearly understand that they have used the spiritual power. 

In praying to the God, a man is putting his mind in a specific state where his words may reach the God.  But, to become able to use the spiritual energy, he must show his full trust in and worship to the God, forgetting his own desires.  In this state of his mind, his prayer should reach the God.  Prayer without desire expressed in the past tense should be necessary to have the prayer accepted by the God, according to a Japanese spirit researcher.

The researcher himself saw miracles happening around him while he forgot his desire in his prayer delivered in the past tense to Japanese deities.  He saw spoons bent through power of the will, pearls and statuettes of Japanese deities appear in the air, his body float on an accidentally broken roof, etc.  He heard voices of a Japanese deity, meaning that as he was so stubborn and ignorant about spiritual matters that the deity decided to show such insignificant spiritual work to the spirit researcher who had been a faithless scientist and great inventor.  

Anyway, as the Lord Jesus Christ suggested, we have to be as unselfish and doubtless as little children so as to be able to use the spiritual energy.

13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
14 And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:
15 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.
16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

"for fear of the Jews" - With Permission of God You Might Cause a Miracle

 


Float Exhibition for Shinto Festival

With Permission of God You Might Cause a Miracle 

In this material world, spiritual energy still exists and works, since this material universe was created by the God using the spiritual energy with his notion, imagination, and words as written in the Bible.  

That is why various miracles and supernatural phenomena happen in this world.  Indeed, the spiritual energy surpasses physical laws in the material world.  Therefore, the Lord Jesus Christ who could use the spiritual energy could perform various miracles.  Even some Christian monks and nuns could cause supernatural phenomena such as levitation with the spiritual energy invoked by their strong faith in the God.  So, the Bible tells that in this material world the spiritual energy is at all times at work.  

But, it does not mean that anybody can use the spiritual energy.  To use it, one must have faith as deep and pure as that of the Lord Jesus Christ.  But, it is impossible to see how faithful somebody else is at the bottom of his heart and mind.  So, a common man outwardly looking so unspiritual and worldly might be able to unconsciously invoke power of the spiritual energy, since he secretly has genuine faith in and fear of the God at the bottom of his heart and mind.  

Levitation of saints (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levitation_of_saints)

The use of the spiritual energy is not allowed only for Christian saints, but some monks, priests, followers, etc. of Buddhism and Shintoism as well as disciplinants of ascetism of Japan seem to be able to use the spiritual energy.  Indeed Japan's history has many examples of such phenomena.

For example, spoon bending can be performed by tricks but can be possible by psychics who can use psychic ability or spiritual energy.  The spiritual energy should be able to work not only on materials but also in incidents and events made by human beings.  There have been traditional psychic acts of cursing somebody else to death in Japan and any other regions in the world.  Qigong technique originated in ancient China is based on use of the spiritual energy emitted from the human body.  

Spoon bending with the spiritual energy can be an entertainment show, but missile bending with the spiritual energy should be an act of war.  In this context, the spiritual energy is more powerful and dangerous than nuclear energy.

A man with deep and pure faith at the bottom of his heart and mind should be able to use the spiritual energy even unconsciously.  But, a man without such faith, even if he happens to have such ability, should lose such ability or become unable to use it.  Indeed, the Lord Jesus Christ referred to such a case:

12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. (Matthew 13)

That is why this human world has not been destroyed in these 2,000 years by evil and wicked men who can use the spiritual energy.

And, if space aliens or UFO owners had such ability to use the spiritual energy, they should be also under control and surveillance of the God and restricted in using such ability against the will of the God.  They are also under authority and power of the God like the mankind in the earth. 

Anyway, we should remember and believe that this material universe was created by the God with words and the spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy is still at work in this material world and the human world.  So, one who is allowed to use it can perform various miracles as long as it is allowed for by the God.

So, such a man could be even a U.S. President only if the God allowed it.

12 And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.
13 Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
14 Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.

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


Mt. Fuji Viewed rom around Tokyo

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

 

Around Tokyo


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

 

Mt. Fuji viewed from around Tokyo

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.

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.

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


A Church around Tokyo

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.

"Ye cannot serve God and mammon" - How to be Given the Spiritual Energy


A Park around Tokyo


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.

Matthew 6, King James Version
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

"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.

"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.
