When we turn our hearts toward Amaterasu, what often surfaces is not only the energy of power and dominance—such as the drive to be "number one"—but also the soul's memory of being torn from one's mother at a young age and subjected to the harsh training of a miko. Beneath this forceful exterior lie deep feelings of sorrow and loneliness. Through meditation, we are invited to face these hidden emotions and gently tell ourselves, "Let's return to the embrace of the Mother."
Furthermore, the name "Amaterasu" written in katakana symbolizes the vast, dark universe, whereas "Amaterasu Ōmikami" in kanji represents a human-constructed, limited realm of gods tied to state authority. Both are but small worlds when compared to the loving energy of the Mother Universe—our true spiritual home. Even the expansive dark universe of Amaterasu, when held against the Mother's gentle vibration, is revealed to be modest and contained.
We are called to guide the universe of Amaterasu—this dark cosmic energy—back into the heart of the Mother Universe. In doing so, the once-bloody world of Amaterasu Ōmikami, shaped by conflict and ego, is recognized as insignificant. By embracing the Mother's vibration and following the steady flow of consciousness, we can return to love—the origin of our being—and move from the third dimension into a higher one.
アマテラスに心を向けるとき、そこには「我一番」といった強い思いとともに、幼少期に母から引き離され、巫女として厳しい訓練を受けた魂の記憶が浮かび上がってくる。その根底には深い孤独と悲しみがあり、瞑想を通して「お母さんの中に帰ろう」と自らの内なる叫びに寄り添うことが求められる。
また、「アマテラス(カタカナ)」は闇黒の宇宙を象徴し、「天照大神(漢字)」は国家神として人間が創った小さな神の世界に過ぎないとされる。いずれも本来のふるさとである「母なる宇宙」の愛の波動と比べれば小さなものである。私たちは、そのアマテラスの宇宙さえも、心の中で母なる宇宙へといざない、意識の流れに乗って本来のふるさとへ帰っていく必要がある。
